Default First Time Corvette Owner!

Hey All! Recently bought my first Corvette! It's a '14 Z51 2LT A6. Upgraded from a Fully Bolt on Stage 3 Focus ST. Excited to get my hands dirty and make her my own! I tend to not leave my cars stock for too long... I'm stationed at Vandenberg Air Force base on the Central coast of California, however I'm often in the Bay area and down south in LA. I plan on tracking my car at Sonoma raceway and Laguna Seca as soon as I'm able to. I'm very excited to be a part of this community and hope to meet some of you guys and gals! I do photography in my free time so I'll have some better pictures soon! So Far, I've tinted the windows and smoked out the outer edge of the taillights with vinyl. I have the Z06 front grill on order, with more mods to come!

Thanks all! NOOB question... I've noticed, My exhaust valves seem to stay open all the time, no matter what mode I'm in, could this be problem with the actuators?
